Vim Mode

Zep supports some simple vim commands - just enough for a vim user to get around the editor without the frustration of having to use a modeless editor. Since Zep is designed to be used inside an ImGui layer primarily, it is useful for a game developer who wants to use Vim commands in their in-game editor.
